Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has reacted to claims that her colleague, Dayo Amusa, was throwing shade at her in her post.
Recall that Dayo lambasted a certain “ingrate” for criticizing her benefactor and calling him a ‘thug’.
According to Dayo, when the person was busy collecting money for house rent, her children’s school fee, and other things, she didn’t know her benefactor was a ‘thug’.
See below,
The post sparked controversy online, with some netizens opining that she was referring to her colleague, Iyabo Ojo, and the thug in question is MC Oluomo.
There were speculations that Iyabo Ojo is the “ingrate” because she went against MC Oluomo’s political preference, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and declared support for Peter Obi of Labour Party.
Reacting, Iyabo Ojo dismissed claims that Dayo’s post was about her; explaining that MC Oluomo has never paid her house rent or her children’s school fee.
According to her, eventhough Tinubu has been of great help to herself and other people in the film industry, it is not enough reason to support his presidential ambition.
With regard to the criticisms she received for supporting Peter Obi instead of Tinubu, the actress said she believes that Tinubu is too old to lead Nigeria and cannot function effectively as President of Nigeria.
She added that Tinubu is a good Godfather and king maker, but she doesn’t believe that he should be President at this time.
According to her, her opposition to Tinubu’s presidency is for his own good because he is “old” and should be resting, instead of stressing himself.

“PLEASE READ THE WHOLE WRITE UP.
I know many may wonder why I am posting this now or speaking about it now after four years. Well today’s situation was a reminder of how she mocked others privately and minimized their sufferings. But she felt the need to scream today because she was directly affected.
You do not only show bravery or compassion or empathy only when it affects you directly.
So this is Chioma screaming at the top of her lungs 🫁 😂😂.
I hope she is safe. I wish her well and I pray her vote counts.
That being said this same Person Chioma had the temerity 4 years ago to tell me that my post will create riots and that the election was safe and free.
Meanwhile Monalisa @monalisacode posted videos of people being killed in her hometown of Rivers State and was calling on security agents to intervene.
There were various videos of thugs attacking people and carting away with ballot boxes. If you all remember vividly, one thug in Okota was almost killed by voters in Lagos when he tried snatching ballots.
While I was posting those updates, Chioma Chukwu felt the need to tell me to stop. That I have a brand to protect and that I should say the election was peaceful.
She will never forget my responses to her and she unfollowed me and I blocked her as well. It is incumbent to end friendships with people who lack or sell their integrity and dignity for a few personal gains, I cut you off.
Many of our celebrities are compromised. They are all about their brands and stomach infrastructure.
Fast forward today, here she is shouting like a cow for her safety.
And I bet the last four years have not favored her hence the change of heart.
I am glad she had this experience today but came out safe. I wish her well and I hope she learns from this experience that you can not be in bed with the devil and have the moral authority to call it out.
When you see injustice in society, Call it out. Don’t sugar quote it. Don’t only scream when it affects you directly. Scream when it affects others as well.
So Chioma I forgive your ineptitude of 4 years ago and I wish you well. Incase you can’t see this I hope someone delivers this message to you.”

Check all your other online sources and see if any other scholars have said it’s prohibited.
Does your controversial sheikh know that Noah is Hebrew and so is Yagub and many other names? Does he ignor the good intention behind naming a child after Allahs prophet? Is the language his problem? Then he should be preaching in only Arabic as well.
Do people really think we will name our child a name we haven’t done our research on? Does he actually think people want to blend with disbelievers?? Shocking.
“I do not care what you think about what I call my child. Your thoughts don’t change a thing because this religion is just not as complicated as you make it
I say Islam is not complicated because it literally says the exact names you are not allowed to call your child. It says the preferred names. It says Allah’s favourite names. Please take this time to look those up too so you know.” she added.
